University Committees

Committees

General Education CommitteeThe General Education Committee is charged with reviewing all core courses and recommending
changes to the core to the full faculty.

Library CommitteeThe Library Committee provides advice, support, and acts as a liason for faculty,
departments, and the University Librarian on matters of the role of the Library in academic
learning, budgeting, collection development, bibliographic instruction, automation,
circulation, and reference services. Academic departments have responsibility for
the quality of their collections.

Teaching Recognition and Effectiveness Committee (TREC)Each year, the teaching recognition and effectiveness committee (TREC) oversees nine
awards, announced to the faculty and staff at the annual TREC Awards Ceremony. Join
us in our efforts to recognize excellence and professionalism here at Wilkes University
by making a nomination for one of the awards. Each fall, awards are presented to
the previous year’s award winners. TREC notifies award winners by letter through
campus mail by June 30 of each academic year.

Curriculum CommitteeThe Curriculum Committee receives and evaluates all curriculum proposals for undergraduate,
graduate, and certificate programs with credit-bearing courses as discussed in the
Faculty Handbook. The Committee transmits recommendations to the full faculty for
action to include, reject, amend, or approve at monthly faculty meetings during the
academic year.
